Description
This application measures the shortest (air) distance from a point A to a point B using GPS with maximum available accuracy in yards, meters, kilometers and miles. You simply reset the ruler at the point A, and then you watch the distance counters increasing as you move to the point B (as if you were using a real tape measure or a ruler).
Primary use for approximate sizing / measuring of:
- land, grounds, properties
- real estate
- golf course yardage
- sport facilities and tracks
- air distance
- other outdoor measurements
The application is intended for outdoor use only with location services enabled.
How to use: Get to the starting point (A) and press the RESET button to initialize the distance counters. Walk to the target point (B) while watching the distance counters increasing. Point 'A' arrow keeps showing the direction to the starting point (A).
You can close the application anytime during the measurement (by pressing the home button). Once reopened, the application continues the current measurement.
What’s New
Version 2.11

Ratings and Reviews
iPhone 16 pro
Worked really well with iPhone 11 but can’t get the reset button on the 16
Unusable.
I installed this app some years ago and it worked great. However, now they “fixed it”. The reset button has been moved to the bottom of the screen and is only visible as a thin unusable untouchable line. The app worked well when I first got it.
I would recommend adding options like making available what bearing or heading between the 2 points. And make the choice available for true north or magnetic north.
Please put the reset button where we can reach it. Otherwise it is useless
Doesn’t work with iPhone 15
It works with my old iPhone but doesn’t work on iPhone 15 pro max there is no reset button to hit
